Brewing Stronger Sales at Teasters Tea

The BKON Craft Brewer™ from Franke turned tea into a dynamic morning option for Teasters' customers.

Despite its namesake focus on tea, coffee reigned supreme during morning drive-time at this Lubbock, Texas retailer. “Coffee was 85 to 95 percent of morning sales,” said founder Richard Austin. “Tea just took too long to make to-order.” Thankfully, Teasters discovered the BKON Craft Brewer™ and its revolutionary, patented technology called Reverse Atmospheric Infusion™ (RAIN ™).

With BKON Craft Brewer™ in place, the positive results at Teasters Tea Company were immediate. In Richard’s own words, “The reason for having a high-end brewer is taste and speed. We can brew any loose-leaf tea, hot or cold, in 90 seconds. The competition cannot. That is a competitive edge.”
